Zyxel's MWR211 Portable Router review

Thursday, April 7, 2011

A mobile broadband router can be an indispensable tech accessory for people who travel with companions or groups, turning a single wireless broadband connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Novatel Wireless's MiFi devices are great examples, but a MiFi supports only the carrier that sells it, which binds you to that carrier's data plan and coverage. The Zyxel MWR211 Portable Router takes a BYOB (as in, bring your own broadband) approach: It turns almost any carrier's USB broadband modem into a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Force10 S4810 review

Monday, March 21, 2011

High port density, high throughput and very low latency are bedrock requirements in the data centre, and Force10's new S4810 top of rack switch delivers on all three counts.

At the same time, Clear Choice testing revealed some interesting limitations in the "merchant silicon" chips increasingly seen in data-center switches. Tests turned up anomalies in the areas of cut-through latency, media access control address learning and link aggregation failover handling. Beyond the switching silicon, the S4810 also turned in mixed results in multicast scalability.
